Rep. Ro Khanna Reflects on Rep. Thomas Massie's Defeat and Bipartisan Efforts

Rep. Ro Khanna of California expressed his disappointment over Rep. Thomas Massie's loss in the recent primary election. Despite their ideological differences, Khanna praised Massie for his courage in working together on bipartisan efforts such as the Epstein Files Transparency Act and opposing U.S. involvement in Iran. President Donald Trump's support for Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, contributed to Massie's defeat. Khanna believes Massie's principled stances on these issues cost him the election, but he admires Massie's bravery in taking those positions. Khanna also emphasized the need for a negotiated deal with Iran to end the ongoing conflict.
